Bryan Ferry › Lyrics › I Thought

I thought you'd be my 'Streetcar Named Desire'
My way, my taste of wine
I thought you'd be that flame within the fire
One dream that just won't die

All night, I was looking for new love
Impossible true love but nothing at all
Looking for new gods, looking for new blood
Looking for you

I thought I'd find you walkin' in the rain
Just like a wayward child
I thought I'd find you calling out my name
So foolish is my pride

All night, looking for new love
Impossible true love, nothing at all
Looking for new ways, looking for strange love
I'm looking for you

I thought I'd be your 'Streetcar Named Desire'
Your man, the one you seek
I thought I'd take you deep within myself
Subtitles when we speak

Hold on, the flower says, "Reach out"
The thunder says, "No shout is greater than mine"
Listen and hold on until the day fades out
Smothered in gold
